Remember to give users rights to fill/save with Reader
Field Properties Box - "Options" - if you choose "scroll long text" the printed page will only show the first line of the form field when printed. If you choose "Multi-Line" it will print all lines
Field Properties Box - "Appearance" - if you choose "auto" on font size, it will automatically adjust, but when data is collected it will print everything even if you choose a specific font size
If you change the name of a field, remember to change it in the properties box. Don't leave spaces in the tooltips, it messes with data collection
Properties box formatting is intuitive - if you type something it's intuitive to the format you choose
You can change the properties of all or selected fields by selecting multiple fields when the property box is shown
Tab order is set by when a field is created, you can change that by clicking/dragging on the sidebar during editing
When choosing fields - remember that radio buttons are for single select, check boxes are for multiple selects
Check boxes - right click inside check box for multiple fields, then you can play with overall positions and sizes
Pay attention to export values on options/property box. If multiple check boxes are there, export value should be specific to each checkbox in order for form distribution to be accurate (i.e. days of week, etc.)
To align fields automatically, select all fields, right click and then choose align, distribute, or center
To erase form, choose "Tools", then "Clear Form"
When working with existing docs, remember to get them as close to final as possible, it's hard to edit text while in Acrobat
Remember - list boxes are for multiple selections, combo boxes are for single selections
You can attach documents to your pdf - simply use the paper clip "attach" button
